YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ALL DAY LONG.
Strengthen your mind — Buddha — an undisciplined mind is the worst enemy.

Care for your thoughts as you would your most prized possessions.
Either you control your mind or your mind controls you.

I am a BIG morning person so I have no issues waking up early. I actually enjoy the stillness of the morning and I find that I am most intune with Source first thing in the a.m. When I meditate/visualize/journal I feel this incredible energy flowing through my body that it's almost as if I am floating. This is a kind of energy that is very hard for me to come across throughout other parts of the day. Super great note! 4 of 4 post 4 of 4

I've been saying for a very long time that I need a month off to catch up on my life...maybe what I really need is a month to fully live these incredible ideas! And the excuse of not having time...I totally do that! However recently I've been very careful with my thoughts/words on time. I always say things like "I'm too busy" and "i don't have enough time" and well my life unfolds to prove those statements to me. I am now saying "I have plenty time" and things are flowing differently and I am finding that I actually have time! Funny how that works! Blueprinting...I love blueprints :) Just the concept is so cool to me! Anyway, after my incredible weekend in Sedona my mind expanded to include ideas that I thought were not possible. Now that these ideas are part of my blueprint I feel so much more aligned with the direction I am headed. And I am excited to really feel that it is going to happen! post 3 of 4

Many of the virtues on Sharma's list are on mine so nice to know that I'm on the heels of a great master :) Invest in Yourself: I've been spending many years investing in myself and I really like Sharma's idea of taking it up a notch by living a month fully living your principles. This is a must for me!! I have a tendency to live my princples but then things start to get a busy (like me traveling these last two weeks) and we'll many of those principles go out the window. I think it was in the PN of Canfield's The Success Principles that Bri brought up the idea of making your haibts non negotiable. I admit that in an effort to not stress myself out, to not be too much of a perfectionitst and to not take the joy out of this journey many of the good habits I have incorporated have been negotiable. post 2 of 2

I'm a big fan of Sharma although I have never read one of his books! I stumbled upon his website about a year ago and just from browsing through I got all tingely with inspiration and motivation. I love what he stands for...inspired leadership...and it is a concept that needs to embraced in all of Corp America. I am currently experiencing first hand how detrimental a lack of leadership can be on a company. Thank goodness I have my PN's to keep my mental self positive and get myself through. It is a valuable learning experience and something that is currently shaping my ideal way to run a business so for that I am grateful. Ok on to the note. I think the quotes on the sidebar do an excellent job of capturing the overall ideas presented in the note...living a life of purpose. Actually the opening quote does it for me "...discover your calling and you'll start to experience the ecstasy of an inspired life." That line really gets my juices flowing :) yeah! Loving the 7 timeless virtues of enlightened living. I love anything that is organized in some sort of list :) post 1 of 3

Wouldn’t that be fascinating if you were related. There’s a small-world story. He’d be a fine fellow to be related to — as would you!

I wonder if we are related - one set of my great grandparents were called Zander, and emigrated from just South of Berlin to NZ in the 1880s. Their daughter Nellie married a Cockney sea captain and my mother was one of their kids. Thanks for the link, and the support. Ted Hi Tom
